Geneva Air Park, the private aviation hangar complex here at Geneva International Airport (GVA), is celebrating its 10th anniversary this week as the airport hosts the annual EBACE show. While FBOs can have their own hangars at the airport, that space is largely reserved for maintenance activities, leaving the Air Park as the only viable option for customers seeking transient or based aircraft shelter. With 107,639 sq ft (10,000 sq m) of hangar space, the facility—located near GVA's Terminal C3, which is adjacent to Palexpo—is large enough to fit a pair of Boeing 747s and usually operates at more than 90 percent capacity. 

Open from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m., it is home to more than 20 business jets on annual contracts guaranteeing them space, with the remainder left for transient aircraft. The facility has recently seen an uptick in larger transient aircraft, which has cut down on the total number of aircraft it can shelter.

The company (Booth Z124) offers a comprehensive range of services for private and business aviation, including towing via its fleet of five Lektro tugs and water and lavatory service. It also recently added in-house dishwashing and linen service, as well as aircraft cleaning.

Earlier this year, the facility earned its Stage I registration under the International Business Aviation Council’s International Standard for Business Aviation Handling (IS-BAH).
